At least I'm stilll in the same month! Life has been a bit hectic at the moment.  Meryel and I had an exhibition at the Monkton Gallery for 10 days.  We both managed to sell 4 paintings each.  Not sure whether we will use them again. 

Life at home has been absolutely chaotic because we are having the shower room removated.  What started as OK has ended up very stressful.  Not sure when it will finish. However it meant that last week we were living on the boat.  Although the work has not finished, we found it too difficult to live on the boat so were coming back home for the evenings.  But as the bathroom fitter is fitting the work around his other jobs, they only appear here every other day.  Conclusion is that we stay here until they turn up, then go down to the boat.

We have also not been sailing.  Weather hasn't been too special.  However, Perry is managing to get out on his bike.

The Monday plein air painting has been good.  Expecially this Monday when we went to Yaverland.  Doing more oil painting. Photos to follow later. I have joined Isle of Wight Arts and am working (with Perry) on a website.  Things to follow on that later.

 Oh dear.  Looks as though I've been a bit neglectful again!  I've now got to think of things we've done.  Must make a note in the diary to try and blog each week, or at least every other week.  

We've had a few day sails and we had a long weekend in Lymington for our 50th wedding anniversary.  That was good. Managed to meet up with some sailing friends as well.

Ive been doing quite a lot of outdoor painting, even though the weather was not always very kind to me.

Henry is fine.    Think we must try and get him to the groomers soon.

Shower room is going to be ripped apart on Monday so we are going to have to live on the boat for a week.  Should be interesting.

Meryel and I have had an exhibition at the Monkton gallery in Ryde.  I managed to sell four paintings on the private viewing.  Amazing.  We still have another week to run.  In the mean time we're looking for other venues for next year.
